St. Louis could use a patsy to break out of a skid, and they get one in a Colorado team that has been ice cold all season. St. Louis is rested, while Colorado played last night, a 6-1 loss at Winnipeg. They've lost three in a row by a 12-2 count. Colorado is last in the NHL in goals scored and allowed, #29 on the power play, and #24 in penalty killing. Colorado is 27-60 playing on no days rest, as well as 8-27 at home. The Avalanche are playing their first home game since trading icon Jarome Iginla to Los Angeles, clearly bailing on the season. The Blues are 21-6 away against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400 and have taken 11 of the last 16 meetings. Play St. Louis.
